Namco Bandai and CC2 are set to release Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations (hence forth referred to here as Naruto Shippuden: Generations, for brevity's sake) at the end of March, with a special 'Card Edition', which includes a deck of actual cards to use with the game.
Naruto Shippuden: Generations introduces an innovative system for the first time in the series, enabling players to integrate actual cards they've collected in the real world, for use in the game. The cards from the bundled starter and booster packs in the Card Edition will carry codes allowing players to unlock artwork for their in-game profile card, as well as letting you engage in a special mini-battle to unlock a bonus skill that'll give you the edge in network battles.
Here's what the Naruto Shippuden: Generations Card Edition will include:
* A card Starter Set, a poster with an exclusive message from Masashi Kishimoto celebrating the 10 million units sales of the Naruto Video games from Namco Bandai Games and the game disc with a card booster pack.
* The Starter set contains a complete ready-to-play deck of 50 cards, Instruction book, Play sheet and Poster. (The cards that come with the Starter Set do not carry the password that links to the videogame.)
* The booster pack contains 8 cards inside, from the selection of 120 cards in total, and it will be offered in both Day 1 standard edition and Card Edition of the game. Cards in the Booster PKG are fully compatible with the video game. The Booster PKG and Starter Set will also be available as stand-alone in GAME and Gamestation stores and online at game.co.uk.
